The Great College Application Confusion
My classmate Nestor assisted me with this assignment and played the role of a high school student while I played his high school college counselor, who had some relationship counseling him prior to this session. My client was a 17-year-old high school student, in his senior year, whose primary concern is how to navigate and complete the college applications for California State University and University of California school systems. From the initial start of the video session I found themes surrounding, clarity of completing a long-term goal of transferring into a four-year university, and problems with time management.

From the beginning of the video session I notice that my client’s pattern of hiding their lack of priorities as they were in search of information in regards to the application process. After analyzing the video session I observed my usage of many closed questions, such as starting out a question with a “do” and “can” much more than open-ended questions that start with a “what” or “how”. (Cormier, 2008, p.00) I felt like I belittled my client by using closed off questions, which lead to my slippery slope of bombarding the client with a lot of information. Though Cormier and her colleagues include work from a scholar by the name of Hepworth and his colleagues who find an expectation to using closed off questions. Cormier states from Hepworth and his colleagues’ work as “it may be necessary to use more closed question if the client…has limited conceptual and mental abilities”. (2008, p.153) From the nature of my counseling session it is possible because of my client’s limited conceptual abilities of applying to a four-year university by instinct of using a closed off question was done so in good use for my clients overall interest. It was after explaining to my client that application process that I suggested a planner to help with prioritizing the many duties, both academic and

In his article “the Common app Fallacy” written in 2008, Damon Beres having been a freshman student in New York University in 2007, criticizes the college board for encouraging the trend of using the common application in the college application process throughout the US. His main purpose is to persuade the readers, who are clearly the college students, to stop applying for whatever colleges they find and to start searching instead for a limited number of schools that they feel are more interesting for them. The author also encourages the colleges to abandon the common application so that they grant admission to those who really deserve it. Even though Beres showed facts and logical arguments rather than statistics that prove his ideas, one

First of all, when students are looking for their classes on their own it becomes tough to find an adequate class or instructor/teacher for them. Every teacher has his/her own way to teach and that’s what makes the difference or interest of students to learn in an appropriate way. One topic I want to bring on is about the textbook (Everything is an Argument) as a student it comes to a point where you hope to do a great use of what we put in when we get enrolled in college. For example, some teachers required students to buy an expensive book from the bookstore just because it goes with the class.

The line of questioning I chose for the client consist of being simple, it has a purpose, and it will influence but not control. The client I chose was indecisive, he is unable to commit or make a change in his life. The strategy used was open and closed questioning. The open question presented to the client was “how do you feel about that? The client expressed his desire to make a change, but wasn’t sure of his wife reaction.

I took English 111 because it is a required class and for no other reason. I came into this class expecting it to be just something I had to get through or check off to continue on with my degree. I did not expect to learn much either, but I was wrong. I have taken this class and I honestly think that it has helped me. I have learned new concepts and refreshed my memory on old ones.

However, the most important thing to remember is to use questioning appropriately. Improper or insincere questioning of either kind can lead to the client feeling like they are on trial; consequently placing them on the defensive. Or worse yet, ending the session and never returning (Ivey, Ivey, & Zalaquett, 2014, p.120). Beginning with the advantages of open questionings we see that they promote an environment of free expression which often leads to more creative talking accompanied by a fullness of detail (Ivey, Ivey, & Zalaquett, 2014, pp.

The in-class assignment of when we had to write about our vision of the future got me thinking about the self-assessment named My Personal Vision and how having a strong vision has an affect on a person's persona and how they are portrayed. I was able to reflect on my vision compared to the other people that volunteered to share theirs during class. Mine was very broad and was not aiming in a particular direction, as if it was heading towards a black abyss, while everyone else's had a destination to get to full with color and bright. Going back to the assessment, which can be located under Appendix A subsection 1, my result showed that my personal vision is far from being an actual vision, since I scored a 3 which suggested that I have not

I like how Melissa explained that we are there as a helping hand and it is our job to be able to read what our client and their families are ready for and knowing when to approach things. On the other hand for question six I agree 100% about what each of them have said. We represent our profession no matter where we are and we need to be aware of our environment and what we say. Like Melissa said we never know who may be our future clients. I noticed this change near the end of placement.

There is considerable anecdotal evidence that the assignment process of students to teachers in many schools is far from “random”. Many parents have had the experience of requesting a preferred teacher for their child. In many schools, teachers confer to decide on classroom assignments for the incoming students; in others, the decision is made by the principal (in both cases with input from parents). The process rarely appears on its face to resemble simple random assignment. Moreover, there are numerous reasons why it may be of interest to systematically sort weaker and stronger students to different classes.

After having the opportunity to be able to go back to listen my first session with my client I was able to notice that there were a lot of things I could of have dome better. Even though this session was very short, due to the fact that it was out first session and my client had lunch during the time we were recording this session. I know there are many things I could of have dome different. For example, something that I didn’t like about this session was the fact that the client provided me a lot of important information which it could of have been conducted to a strong session, and I saw myself asking many basic questions such as “why do believe this, or why do you thinks this happen” and asking the same things over and ove , instead of having a deep exploration to these concerns my client was having.

Because of my inability to provide a calm and silent environment as part of my interviewing techniques, I missed out on gaining potential relevant information about my client. In the future, I will provide a very calm environment that allows the client to really express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I will ask questions one at a time rather than grouping them together, and I will go into the interviews mentally prepared, thus removing any self-perceived awkwardness. I also will learn new interviewing techniques on how make your client feel appropriately validated and emotionally supported. I also need to work on my body language whenever conducting interviews in the future.
